Background and aims. Type 2 diabetic patients have a three-to four-fold risk of cardiovascular disease. A cluster of cardiovascular risk factors has been identifi ed (high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, obesity, impaired glucose metabolism), which together constitutes the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome affects...

... IMT is defi ned by the two parallel echogenic lines which correspond to the interfaces between lumen/intima and media/adventitia (see Methods, 5.3.1. Intima-media thickness (IMT), Figure 3). The thickness of the echogenic line next to the vascular lumen added to the thickness of the adjacent dark layer together compose the IMT both at the near wall and at the far wall. ...

... images were displayed from three projections -the anterolateral, the lateral and the posterolateral -for the common carotid artery (CCA), the carotid bulb (CB) and the internal carotid artery (ICA). The arterial segments assessed were 1) the distal 1 cm of CCA, 2) the entire carotid bulb, and 3) the proximal 1 cm of ICA ( Figure 3). Scanning was focused and measurements taken of a total of 28 sites per patient of both the right and the left carotid arteries from three projections for both the far wall (FW) and the near wall (NW) of the CCA and CB, and the one best visualized projection for ICA (Fig. 3). ...

Scanning was focused and measurements taken of a total of 28 sites per patient of both the right and the left carotid arteries from three projections for both the far wall (FW) and the near wall (NW) of the CCA and CB, and the one best visualized projection for ICA (Fig. 3). The images were frozen in the diastole, assessed as the phase when the lumen diameter is at it's narrowest and IMT at it's largest. Relevant parts of the scanning were recorded. All scans were performed in Helsinki. ...

Purpose. The aim of this paper is to evaluate changes in the metabolic status of patients with PA before and after the surgical treatment, and to look for differences in the metabolic outcomes among patients according to the adenoma type and the success rate of the surgery.
Methods. We assessed patients with PA who went through TSS for its treatmen...
Introduction:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of peripheral polyneuropathy (PPN) in subjects with grade II and III obesity (Ob-II,III) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) but without diabetes and to investigate possible associated factors.
Method:
A cross-sectional study was performed in non-diabetic Ob-II,III,MetS patients usin...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and independent associated risk factors in adolescents in the city of Vitória, Brazil. METHODS: We assessed 380 adolescents aged 10 to 14 years attending public schools. Body mass index and blood pressure at rest were measured. Fasting plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL-c...

Objective: This study investigated the association of circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in adults. Methods: This nationwide cohort involved 23,810 Chinese adults attending annual health evaluations. Serum 25(OH)D levels, MetS status, and covariates were determined at ea...
Background:
Adiponectin, a secretagogue exclusively produced by adipocytes, has been associated with metabolic features, but its role in the development of the metabolic syndrome remains unclear.
Objectives:
We investigated the association between serum adiponectin level and metabolic traits, using both observational and genetic epidemiologic ap...
